Analysis of the roughness regimes for micropolar fluids via homogenization

We study the asymptotic behavior of micropolar fluid flows in a thin domain of thickness $\eta_\varepsilon$ with a periodic oscillating boundary with wavelength $\varepsilon$. We consider the limit when $\varepsilon$ tends to zero and, depending on the limit of the ratio of $\eta_\varepsilon/\vareps...

Description
Summary:We study the asymptotic behavior of micropolar fluid flows in a thin domain of thickness $\eta_\varepsilon$ with a periodic oscillating boundary with wavelength $\varepsilon$. We consider the limit when $\varepsilon$ tends to zero and, depending on the limit of the ratio of $\eta_\varepsilon/\varepsilon$, we prove the existence of three different regimes. In each regime, we derive a generalized Reynolds equation taking into account the microstructure of the roughness.
